Thai Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin... in all it's glory... (recipe from the Whole Foods Vitamix cookbook. But, I might have made a few of my own little tweaks)
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp fresh or pureed ginger
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 Tbsp chopped green chilies
1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and Pepper, to taste


Instructions:
1. Heat soup pot over medium, add olive oil, and allow to heat. Add onion and a pinch of Salt and pepper. Saute until soft, than add tomato paste, pumpkin, ginger, garlic and broth. Combine and cook until heated throughout.
2. Pour mixture from pot into blender. Blend on high until smooth. 


I stirred a dollop of plain greek yogurt (Chobani) into mine. It gave the perfect tangy punch. Yum in my tum!
